Mary Kurth

I had the privilege of working and being a friend of Mary's for many years on the night shift 3NW and SICU at SSM. Mary was the best of nurses in skill and caring. She always talked so much of her family and their accomplishments I felt I knew them all. I met nephew Gavin 2 years ago working as RN in St. Mary's ER. He expressed what an influenceMary had been on him choosing this career. Mary was so proud I am sure! Rest in peace dear friend and condolencesto all family on this loss. Kitty Geier

Several things stood out about Mary Frances. She was an exceptional person of impeccable character. She was, as were all of her siblings, always interested in learning. Her love of her family was her foundation and anchor.She lost her mother early and in many ways became the mother in the large family she came from. With the loss of each family member her spirit dimmed a little. Wishing her peace and happiness in the next life where she is together again with everyone she loved. Until we all meet again

Mary was my Big Sis in nursing school. We worked on 3 northwest and then the Surgical Intensive care . We were part of the core group of nurses who traveled to St. Lukes hospital in Milwaukee to learn how to take care of patients having open heart surgery! For many years, I worked the pm shift and Mary worked nights. I always admired her for the care she gave her siblings after their mom passed away. Forever in my ️ Sue Schmelzer

I haven''t seen Mary since our high school graduation back in 1965. I remember her as being a thoughtful and intelligent young woman beyond her years. When I read her obituary, I felt proud of what she accomplished as a nurse and as a person. It's always pleasing to see that people we knew in our youth have gone on to live meaningful lives.I'm sure she'll be missed by friends and family.Dennis McWilliams

We were unable to make the Celebration of Life on Sunday, but our thoughts and prayers are with the Kurth family. Pat and Sarah O'Brien
